Section A
Did the author start with what other are saying? YES
Copy & Paste the part:
Concern about this deficit exploded into public consciousness 35 years ago, when researchers
in the department of psychology at Johns Hopkins University published an article suggesting
the gap might be caused by a “superior male mathematical ability.”
Did the author summarize his idea briefly in the beginning of the
article?
NO
Copy & Paste the part:
Based on the NYT article, the author did not summarize his idea briefly in the beginning. The
author starts the article with “what people say”; consequently the readers did not know that
author agree or disagree with the statement by reading the first paragraph only.
Did he use the templates
introduced by G&B?
YES
For what purpose? For Introducing “Standard View”
Copy & Paste the part:
The debate that ensued was furious. It was so hot that a quarter of a century
later, a similar controversy contributed to the ouster of Lawrence Summers from
his post as the president of Harvard.
The sentence shows the standard view which is can be accepted by people and related to the
topic that author want to explain more.

2. Did he use the templates
introduced by G&B?
YES
For what purpose? For Introducing what “They Say”
Copy & Paste the part:
Concern about this deficit exploded into public consciousness 35 years ago,
when researchers in the department of psychology at Johns Hopkins University
published an article suggesting the gap might be caused by a “superior male
mathematical ability.”
Did he use the templates
introduced by G&B?
NO
For what purpose? For introducing an ongoing debate
Copy & Paste the part:
Based on the article, The author did not use the template for introducing an ongoing debate.
All of references are in line with the author thesis. In the beginning of article listed
“….researchers in the department of psychology at Johns Hopkins University published an
article suggesting the gap might be caused by a “superior male mathematical ability.” which is
against author thesis, but we think it is not part of the reference. The author cite from
department of psychology with purpose to start the background why the problem happened.
Did he use the templates
introduced by G&B?
YES
For what purpose? for introducing something implied or assumed
Copy & Paste the part:
Test scores in science follow a similar, if somewhat less lopsided, pattern.
And women are still steering clear of scientific careers : Across the O.E.C.D.
nations, only 14 percent of young women entering college for the first time chose
a science-related field, compared with 39 percent of men.

3. The underline words show that the author summarize the O.E.C.D data but it is implied or
assumed
Did he summarize the “They Say”? YES
Copy & Paste the part:
Genes alone cannot explain educational inequality. But recent research from Mr. Stoet and
others has put in doubt the prevailing belief that education gaps are mostly due to broader
gender disparities. Other research suggests women’s lack of interest in scientific careers
might reflect deeply ingrained preferences. Girls who perform at the top in math might pursue
something else because they are even stronger in other subjects.
This paragraph shows the summary “They Say” , because in the underline words show the
combination of Mr Stoet and others research statement, it must have summarized before.
Did he summarize the “They Say” properly? (Select one answer)
a. YES, he balanced his own focus and saying with the references he used
b. NO, too much “they say”
c. NO, not enough “the say”
Explain your answer here using the parts of the NYT article:
Was there anything “natural” about the performance gap? Or was it the product of
gender bias working its way through schools? As the debate raged, ending the
underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering and math became a
critical policy priority. Amid the din over top girls’ mathematical abilities, something
important was forgotten: What is happening that so many boys are falling behind in
pretty much everything else?
Genes alone cannot explain educational inequality. But recent research from Mr. Stoet and
others has put in doubt the prevailing belief that education gaps are mostly due to broader
gender disparities. Other research suggests women’s lack of interest in scientific careers might
reflect deeply ingrained references. Girls who perform at the top in math might pursue
something else because they are even stronger in other subjects.
The blue highlight paragraph indicate that the author was showing disagree expression with the

4. statement from boys are superior in Math than girls; consequently The author list the
references (yellow highlight paragraph) to support his/her thesis.
